this is old news but here are a few things need to know.

1st: noone here or anyone that i know of has tried this and tested it on the dyno.
2: concensous is that you cannot get enough spooling or turbine deisng from this thing. it will not make enough pressure in the engine to matter.
3: if you have moeny to buy it and dyno test it to prove us all wrong it would be interesting to see :)

Couple things i've heard about this..
For starters, it may apparently restrict the air flow, end result you get less power.
Secondly, it is plastic. It will break and cause major headaches.

it's CRAP. if you can sc your car for only 69.95, why spend close to 3g's for the greddy one?

i wont be trying this anytime soon but i have never herd of anyone who actually bought it. did u feel any loss or slight gain? And yea the idea of the plastic on this and being so cheap, it falling into the engine could do major damage.

It actually made out of metal. You won't see many gains on a 1.8L 4 cyl. It was really design for like trucks and stuff with bigger engines to get better gas milage. They see slight gains, but for a small engine like the celica, don't count on it.

You'll regret not buying it. Who wouldn't want a turbo for $70? It can't be beat.

only an idiot would buy a GReddy product, at any price.
